I log on here about 5 times aday, just quick looks mind you, and these threads are the first thing I look at, so come on ghosty put us out of ours misery's (should that be 'ies' on the end t of misery). I love hearing pregnancy news , even if it's from cyber-space.

quackers · 23/04/2003 14:09

Come on Ghosty - do it - do it. I'm excited for you too!! I'm dying to start trying again after loosing a littl'n. PLEASE give us all some good news.
I'm going away for two days and can't check the website!!!

mum2toby · 24/04/2003 13:27

Right Ghosty! Time's up!!! What's the verdict???????

SamboM · 24/04/2003 13:31

Just found this one, come on Ghosty! What's going on? How can you BEAR to wait

Ghosty · 25/04/2003 00:56

Well ... I did it ... and was hoping to put down loads and loads of smileys as I was so sure that I was pregant ....
BUT ... the line in the square window is SOOOOOO faint that I just can't be sure ...
I won't put any sad faces down as I don't feel sad ... will just keep trying ...
But why have I not come on? I am never ever ever late ... early sometimes ... but never late ...
Only twice has my period been late in my whole life and both those times I was pregnant ... what do you reckon girls? Am I or aren't I?

sprout · 25/04/2003 07:59

Ghosty, I also had the very faintest of lines ... and am now 11 wks pregnant. I didn't even believe all the mumsnetters who told me "a faint line is still a line" - but they were right! Why don't you try again in a few days' time (assuming you can be that patient!)? Good luck.

mum2toby · 25/04/2003 08:12

Ghosty..... there's no smoke without fire.... doesn't matter if it's faint, it's still a line!!

I'll do your smiley's for you!!!! Oh go on..... do another one.

Ghosty · 25/04/2003 08:40

I did do the second test this afternoon and this time the line was even fainter ... i could juuuuuuuuust about see it ...
Darn! This is frustrating ... the last two times the line was really clear ... absolutely no doubt at all!
The leaflet says that I could be pg with a faint line it is just that the Hcg levels are too low at this point ... but considering the levels were so clear the last two pregnancies does this mean that even if I am pregnant it is not a strong one ... IYKWIM?????
Blimey ... and so the worry starts .............

WideWebWitch · 25/04/2003 08:40

Ghosty, I'd be fairly sure you're pregnant - a line's a line and mine was faint too. Give it a couple of days and test again but I'd say it's likely you are. Congratulations!

mum2toby · 25/04/2003 08:47

I'll congratulate you too Ghosty!!!

Ghosty · 25/04/2003 08:52

Oh ... gee ... thanks .... >>> but I won't get excited about it just yet ... tooo scared and superstitious ....................... Will keep you posted!!!!

mum2toby · 25/04/2003 08:57

You had better keep us posted!!!!!!! I'm SOOOOO excited for you! And here's me dreading (perhaps secretly hoping....don't tell dp ) the signs of pregnancy starting to emerge!!

EmmaTMG · 25/04/2003 09:14

My tests were VERY faint this time, I'm 19 weeks now, and over the course of the day they became darker.
DH was at work and I doubt he would have believed me or the tests if he saw how faint they were but by the time he got home, hours later there was no mistake. Have you still got them? and if you have what do they look like now?
Like every one else I DO think you are PG as any line is a line, regardless of how faint it is so..........HOOOO-RAAAAHHHHH

grommit · 25/04/2003 09:28

Ghosty - any line no matter how faint is a positive! Congrats to you!
